My girls went back to school this week…well, they went back to school yesterday and are back at home today because the a/c in many of their school’s buildings and rooms is out of commission and it’s 94 degrees here in southeastern Pennsylvania, so…….no school just as school started anew. They went just long enough to have their traditional back to school ice cream treat last night (pictured above).

Going Back To School With Hundreds of Glue Sticks

To celebrate the season (back to school not back at home), I wrote a fun little story for the great folks at DonorsChoose.org, a wonderful organization which allows people like you and me to help support teacher’s fundraising projects to stock bookshelves in classroom reading nooks, supply underprivileged kids with art supplies, and many other types of projects all across the country.

Give a read to this story about glue sticks and back to school shopping while you are getting your kid’s backpack ready for a new school year. And check out DonorsChoose.org to help fund a teacher’s project in your school or town.
